Noticeboard

A new online booking system so that patients' can book a date and time that is convenient to them to have their blood taken. This new service has been introduced to complement the existing walk in service already provided. For more information click here.

New Patient Registration

Patients wishing to register should visit during surgery hours and complete the appropriate form obtainable from reception (assistance is available should this be required). We also ask you to fill in a new patient questionnaire which provides us with some of your health care history.

All new patients can arrange to have a new registration appointment to discuss their current health status, concerns and medication. Once registered, patients can choose to see any of our doctors.

The health visitor will see new patients under 5 years old shortly after registration. Patients over 75 years of age will be offered an annual health check, either at the Surgery or in their own home if they are housebound.

The practice may refuse an application to join its list if the patient does not reside in the area. You can check if you are in our catchment area by clicking on the links below and entering your postcode:

Registration Forms for The Village Surgeries Group

To register with The Village Surgeries Group you will need to complete a Registration Form and New Patient Questionnaire. We ask you to also complete the New Patient Questionnaire because it can take a considerable time for us to receive your medical records. Please click on the links below to print off both of these forms. Once you have completed them, please sign and bring into either Practice along with two forms of identification, in order for us to register you.

Non-English Speakers

These fact sheets have been written to explain the role of UK health services, the National Health Service (NHS), to newly-arrived individuals seeking asylum. They cover issues such as the role of GPs, their function as gatekeepers to the health services, how to register and how to access emergency services.

Special care has been taken to ensure that information is given in clear language, and the content and style has been tested with user groups. Open the leaflets in one of the following languages

Temporary Registration

If you are ill while away from home or if you are not registered with a doctor but need to see one you can receive emergency treatment from the local GP practice for 14 days. After 14 days you will need to register as a temporary or permanent patient.

You can be registered as a temporary patient for up to three months. This will allow you to be on the local practice list and still remain a patient of your permanent GP. After three months you will have to re-register as a temporary patient or permanently register with that practice.

To register as a temporary patient simply contact the local practice you wish to use. Practices do not have to accept you as a temporary patient although they do have an obligation to offer emergency treatment. You cannot register as a temporary patient at a practice in the town or area where you are already registered.
